Duke's Pass or Dukes Pass is a mountain pass in the Highlands, which cuts through the mountains of south-western Perthshire carrying the A821 road between Aberfoyle and Brig o' Turk in the glen known as the Trossachs. The pass climbs to a height of 787 feet above sea level.

The name only appears on modern Ordnance Survey maps, but is in common use locally. The road was built by the Duke of Montrose in 1885, hence the name.[1]
